Mr Magezi, a technician doing private contracts, explained that after her daughter went missing, the family frantically searched for her but failed to find her.
Kampala Metropolitan spokesperson Luke Owoyesigire confirmed the girl had been found and taken to Kiruddu hospital. He said the girl’s parents had been informed.
According to Mr Owoyesigire, the girl said she had gone out to ease herself when she was grabbed by two unidentified men, who forced her to drink something before she passed out.
